T!-l-5?:ff-:j.Hni SHOW WILL GET PACKED HOUSE ALL BUT 150 SEATS ABE SOLD FOR "BABES IN TOYLAND TREAT OF SEASON. ONE OF SEASON'S LEADERS Comedy 13 to Be the Dominant Fea- ; ture at the New Phillips This Week. "Babes in Toyland," booked for the Gennett tomorrow night, has had a remarkable sale of seats. The plat opened Saturday and at noon yesterday there were but one hundred and fifty good seats left. Manager Swisher feels certain that all these seats will be sold by Tuesday night and only regrets that the opera house is not larger. Manager Swisher has several times assured his clientle, that whenever he could do so, he would not hesitate in booking the highest class attractions posible to visit Richmond. The great success of "Babes in Toyland," produced by a company of seventy players, and requiring two solid carloads of scenery and effects for proper presentation, will certainly be one of the events of the theatrical season here. The book is by Glen McDonald, and the music is the work of Victor Herbert, and this company was drilled and trained in its work by Julian Mitchell. Good Bill Opens This Afternoon. A good bill, judging from all the indications that can be secured in advance, will be inaugurated at the New Phillips vaudeville theatre this afternoon. It will include hand balancing by Otto Weaver, blackface comedy by Bryant & Saville, a comedy sketch by the Lynns, illustrated songs by Cal Lankert, an original comedy by Harison Brothers and two pleasing motion pictures, projected by the Philoscope and entitled, "Through the Matrimonial Agency," and "A Pleasure Trip." Those who care for comedy will find an abundance in that line, while the bill will be made a well balanced one by the hand balancing, illustrated songs and motion pictures. If this week proves as successful as the one just closed, Manager Murray will be highly pleased. On Saturday the crowds at the matinee and night performances were very large and all were delighted with the program. Sometimes it pays to talk, espec ially when you get a dollar for a sen tence or two. Try to win the Palladium news "tip" prize. FIRE DEPARTMENT CHANGES.

SCENES FROM "BABES IN TOL

"E Plaribaa main" on Oar Coins. According to tlit? United States mint cScials. the words, 'E Pluribus Unum," as they appear on our coins, are there without the sanction of law. The legend first appeared upon a copper coin "struck " at the Newburg (N. Y.) mint in the year 17SG. The United States tas very young at that time and could not afford the luxury of a mint, so a private individual of the name of Brasher opened the Newburg coining establishment with the Intention of turning out money of the realm for all comers. Exactly how the words "E Pluribus Cnum" came to be used as a motto Li not known, but one thing is certain the Brasher copper coin bearing that legend and the date of 17SG is the most valuable metal disk ever minted on this continent. Some time after coinin? his famous copper with the odd Latin motto as above described Brasher tried his hand on a large sized gold piece, producing the coin known to the numismatics as "Brasher's twenty." The Brasher "twenty" was not a twenty dollar gold piece, however, for it lacked $4 of weighing enough, but of late years it has become very scarce and valuable because of the fact that the legend inscribed upon it reads "Unum E Pluribus" instead of "E Fluribus Unum." Forget Your Loat Battles. Napoleon the Great 011 one of his campaigns while walking about the camp one night, as he was accustomed to do to discover how the soldiers were occupied, chanced to come upon a group listening to an excited speaker. Napoleon stole near to listen and found that the man was regaling his comrades with an account of battles that Napoleou had lost. "I had the fellow hanged as a traitor," Napoleon said. "Men lo not win battles by the memory of batt2e3 lost!" It was perfectly true. A distinguished military olHcer affirmed that after troops had been beaten In a battle It took weeks to get I'aem to fire as well as they had done before. B.id success demoralizes them. If one is continually looking back at the things one has missed In life one loses the power to grip what i.4 yet within reach of one's hands. Lonuou Spectator. All the Vowela In One Word. There are but six words in the English language which contain all the vowels in regular order viz. abstemious, arsenious, aueulous, facetious, materious and tragedious. There is but one word which contains them in regular reverse order, and that word is duoliteral. Besides the above there are 140 English words which contain all the vowels in irregular order. Twelve of these begin with the letter a, seven with b. twenty-three with c, sixteen with d. fourteen with e, four with f, seven with g, one with h, six with 1, two with j. two with m, two with n, two with o, thirteen with p. one with q, five with r, nine with s. two with t, fifteen with u and six with v. Trnpi t'or Tlarr nud Panthers. An ingenious trnp for catching tigers and large lihu-k panthers is used by the natives of an isolated part of IndoChiua. A short length of a tree log is hollowed out, and around each end of it are driven long sharp spikes so as to project inward, leaving a,n opening of about six inches. Through a small trapdoor a pariah dog or a pig is placed in the log for bait and the trap left for future developments. The tiger or panther easily pushes in his paw to secure the bait, but when he tries to withdraw it it is impaled on the sharp spikes, and he is trapped. Falling From the San to the Earth. The philosophers have figured out some queer problems since the time of Horatio, but none of them is more curious than that relating to the amount of time it would take for an object to fall from the sun or moon to our earth. It has been decided, after an immense amount of figuring, that if a bowlder weighing a ton should fall from the sun it would take it ninety-nine years, nine months and two hours to reach the earth. The same bowlder could make the trip from the- moon to the earth in four and one-half days. A Compliment.

JEROME COMES TO TELL JOKES IT'S ' JERUM-K-JERTJM, ' THE WELL KNOWN ENGLISH HUMORIST. UP AGAINST IT AT ONCE The Author of "Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow" Is Met by a Thousand or More Questions. (New York World, Feb. 14.) Jerome K. Jerome (please pronounce Jerum-k-Jerum), jokesmith, arrived in America for the first time in his life today. He came on the American Line steamship St. Louis from Southampton. He is going to lecture in this country for six months if his health will permit, beginning pretty soon in New York at the Empire Theatre. Mr. "Jerum" wore today a very florid face, which he always wears; a full blue necktie which he wears only at times, a soft brown hat, no mustache, a gray tweed suit, spectacles and a very merry twinkle in his brown eyes. "And bow do you like America?" asked some bright person when the author of "The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow," was at last at leisure on the American Line pier, and ready to be interviewed. "Hm! They asked me that at Southampton," answered the author of "Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow," adjusting his spectacles. "I can say at present that I admire your tall buildings." Perhaps you have heard something and want it verified. The Palladium will do it for you and perhaps you may be paid a dollar for what you have heard. Try to win the dollar this week. JOY AT THE WATSON HOME NINE POUND BABY GLADDENS CONGRESSMAN'S HEART. Shakes Hand As Never Before and Gives Out Ten Cent Cigars in Abundance. Rushville, Ind., Feb. 25. As "Jim" Watson, Republican "whip" of the House, walked down the street in this city Friday evening his friends were astonished to see him reach around behind his back with his right hand, and grasping it with his left, give it a hearty shake. Then the reason for the self-congratula tory movement dawned on his friends and in reply to inquiries, Watson, with a smile that spread from ear to ear, said: "Yes, it's a girl, and I'm tickled nearly to death. Come around to the office, boys, and we'll smoke 10-cent cigars. You must smoke on my girl and one on me. You have something coming from me, you know, for I have been renominated." The new addition to the Watson family increases the number of chil dren to three. The other two are boys, one, Edwin, age eleven and the other, James, Jr., age eight. Three years ago last November. Mr. and Mrs. Watson buried their little two-year-old daughter, Lorrine, and it is because of this that they are rejoicing that the new arrival is a girl. The new girls weighs nine pounds.

THE IDEAL WIPE : Shapes the Destiny of Men The Influence of a Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated.

Seven-eighths of the men in this world marry a woman because she is beautiful in their eyes because she has the qualities which inspire admiration, respect aud love. There is a beauty in heal tli which is more attractive to men than mere regularity of feature. The influence of women glorious in the possession of perfect physical health, upon men and upon the civilization of the world could never be measured. Because of them men have attained the very heights of ambition; because of them even thrones have been established and destroyed. What a disappointment, then, to see the fair young1 wife's beauty fading away before a year passes over her head I A sickly, half -dead-and-alive woman, especially when she is the mother of a family, is a damper to all joyousness in the home, and a .drag upon her husband. The cost of a wife's constant illness is a serious drain upon the funds of a household, and too often all the doctoring does no good. If a woman finds her energies are flagging, and-that everything tires her, dark shadows appear under her eyes her sleep is disturbed by horrible dreams ; if she has backache, headaches, bearing-down pains, nervousness irregularities, or despondency, she should take means to build her system up at once by a tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This great remedy for women has done more in the way of restoring health to the women of America than all other medicines put together. It is the safeguard of woman's health. Following we publish, by request, a letter from a young wife. Mrs. Bessie Ainsley, of 611 South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham : " Ever since my child was born I have suffered, as I hope few women ever have, with inflammation, female weakness, bearing-down pains, backache and wretched headaches. It affected my stomach no that I could not enjoy my meals, and half my time was spent In bed.

, "Lydia E. Pinkham WiUble Cfcmpoond made me a well woman, and I feel so grateful that I am glad to write and tell you of my marvelous recovery. It brought me health, new life and vitality." What Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will do for other woman who are in poor health and ailing. Its benefits begin when its use begins. It gives strength and vigor from the start, and surely makes sick women well and robust. Remember Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound holds the record for the greatest number of actual cures of woman's ills. This fact is attested to by the thousands of letters from grateful women which are on file in the Pinkham laboratory. Women should remember that a curs for all female diseases actually exists, and that cure is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If you have symptoms you don't understand write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for special advice. The ftresent Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-n-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, her assistant before her decease, and for twenty-five years since her advice has been freely given to sick women.
